hello fedi! I’m back! I didn’t actually go anywhere, I’ve just been extremely busy and got all anxious and guilty about logging in after missing so much  

it’s not feasible for me to look through my entire feed every single day, but I feel so bad posting when I’ve been missing everyone else’s content. I feel so bad for missing it anyway, I care about you all 🤧

so what’s up, has the server died like I’ve been fearing? what’s been happening 

@gnocchi Hi!!! I'm so glad to see you! 🥺 There's absolutely no need to feel guilty. I'm pretty sure I'm actually the weird one for reading every post from everyone I follow every day (minus stuff my filters catch, which to be fair is a lot).

When I see people complain about posting habits on here, it's "this user ONLY makes original posts and NEVER looks at others' posts OR responds to replies." And it's based on an extended period of time, not like "this week, they only made original posts." I think you're fine. ALSO I don't think I've ever seen a *fandom* Fedi user make a complaint like that. So you're extra fine.

The server is good! We got a way bigger character count, if you noticed. :D Some people have joined and some have gone inactive, like normal. I haven't noticed any big drama or big changes in how many active users there are.

@xieliansbignaturals @gnocchi And I wouldn't listen to anyone complaining about other people's posting habits, honestly. Bunch of busy bodies in opinion.
@griseldagimpel @gnocchi Yeah. The only real point they have is "if you do that, people will generally ignore you." (So, mostly a warning for influencer types.) I've also seen a few instances where using your account like that is against the rules (not Blorbo, though).

@xieliansbignaturals @gnocchi

That makes sense.

Although. Are there really influencers on *Mastodon*?

@griseldagimpel @gnocchi Not for long enough for us to notice them! 😆 The only reason I know any of them have been here at all is that I’ve overheard people laughing about how they’ve seen influencers complaining on for-profit platforms (YouTube, etc.) that they tried Mastodon and no one paid attention to them. Like, wow, what a shocker.
@xieliansbignaturals @gnocchi I can't believe the platform filled with anarchists and communists didn't go for influencers! 😂
